Communicated. LETLOOK AT THIS.J MR. EDITOR: --It seems Mr. • Watch man' is not willing to bring his proof that his story was true about the $1252 13 ; for he said I owed that much, and now, he fetches, what he says, I swore before the Venango Treasurer, and proves than it was only $lOOO. So that his own tes timony shows that he lied *252 worth; but that does not amount to much, I sup pose, he thinks; Now, I want to tell you and the people that this fe4ow who wants to be so very honest, has not published my testimony true—he did not tell all that I swore. I did say that ../ received 2,1000 of the Canal Commissioners," but I told Espy at the same time, I had paid it nearly all out; but this honest fellow is so willing to make an impression that his neighbors are rascals, he does not tell th whole truth. If he want's to be consider ed a gentleman he would not pick nut a little piece of my oath, and make that tell what it was never intended to mean. I deny now, and always did deny that the oath, published by the defaulting Treasur er of Venango county, was the same as I gave; and every man that heard my oath knew it; and if that is all he has got to prove his story he may at once make up his mind that the people of Huntingdon county are not going to believe any and every thing such a man, as Geo. R. Espy may say was sworn before him. In fact, my notion is, that there is not many would believe him it he should swew' that his re port of the testimony was as given in. To satisfy the people, I will just pub lish my statement as certified under the seal of the Auditor General's Office, long after I was superceded by the appoint ment by Porter.

JOHN IN H ETTAK.ER. Washington Correspondence. Washingtot: City July 27th 1841. MR. A. W. BENEDICT, in great haste I seize the last moment before the closing of the mail—fur the Senate has but just adj ,urned —to tell you that the most in tense anxiety, was exhibited throbghout the city, and in the senate this day which could be imagined. It was an interesting day, and several able and spirited speech es were made on the Bank question. Clay of Ky. his colleague Gov. Moorehead, Mr. Preston of S. C. contended for the Bill— Rives, Calhoun, Benton, Buchanan and Walker against it. It was a day of deep interest; but the long agony is over, the Bill passed a2d reading—engrossed and wilt pass finally in the morning. Hen derson of Mi's. and Clayton of Del. not voting—Rives and Archer opposing to the last. !derrick and Freston came up to the work like men good and true. All goes to show that the interest of the peo ple will be guarded—the enterpris, of the American people cannot lung lie dormant —our course is onward to wealth, to glory and national independence. Respectful ly your friend. CRISIS. SILINPLASTERS, The Locofocos have kept up a loud cry against SHINPLASTERS. This has been the burden of their song for two or three years. They were the hard money boys, —the whigs were for dirty greasy rags! This was u fine tale to tell the people— they were for gold and the wings for rags! There is an old adage, however, that 'actions speak plainer than words.' Ile all know very well the nature of the pro fessions of the Locofocos; but let us look at their actions. The locofoco borough of Harrisburgh, end the city of Lancaster, 'the only de• inocratic city in the Union,' have issued upwards of . $50,000 in shinplasters, of various denominations, from $3 to twelve) and a half cents/ Now these are actions which afford a striking commentary upon locofoco pro fessions. They illustrate the charming consistency which that party so much boasts of ! No one can doubt the fact of these issues, nor the .democracy' of these (corporations. We leave it for the high minded, honorable and candid opponents of shinplasters, to say whether the loco foco party have not most contemptuously deluded them. They profess opposition to small notes; and such are the FRUITS. But it may be said that Governor Por ter is not responsible for the conduct of Harrisburg and Lancaster. Is he not the guardian of the people—bound to execute the laws, and to punish them who vitgatel them? The Governor is aware of these violations—he has been warned by the press--why has he not punished? The people, and especially the partizans of the Governor, ought to press this matter: they have a right to know why a beneficial pub lic law is thus infringed, and why he heal. Cates to perform his sworn duty. There can be no plea of necessity for these ille. gal issues. The banks have been authori zed to issue, and the people have a legal small note issue. It must now be clear to eyery candid man that the professions of the locofocos are not agreeable to their conduct. We have proved they are patrons of shinplas., ters; and we doubt not, they will assert their hostility as roundly as ever! We shall hear them writing and declaiming against shinplasters. Their orators will ,jingle a lew silver dollars, and tell their tollowers-- , See, this is locofoco money— this is the money we go for--this is Poi , 'ter money!' and those who are wilfully blind, and g 4, only for men or party, will shout diuzza, huzza—amen r—but those who go for principle, will hang their heads with shame, or nobly step out of their ranks, and frown upon such hypocrisy.— Village Record.
